14 -The IP address and IP-ID of each GLPAC is important to proper functionality. Unless otherwise requested, Chief Integrations will assign default IP addresses to all GLPACs on the job. These IP addresses are typically recorded in the provided hardware takeoff, or can be checked by running the ##ipt -t ##command from the processor after the configuration is loaded. DIN-CENCN-2's will typically have IP-IDs in the "##Dx##" range.. If network requirements on the jobsite require changing the IP address of any GLPAC or the processor, then both the provided configuration file and load script will need to be updated with the new IP information.

48 48  Theoretically, GLPACs should be able to be configured over Ethernet using a computer that is running a DHCP server (or if they are on a network with a processor that has a control subnet or is running the [[SHOWRUNNER™ DHCP Server>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ User Guide & Wiki.Troubleshooting.DHCP Server.WebHome]]). In practice, however, GLPACs will oftentimes fail to take an IP address from a DHCP server and still require manual configuration via USB.
